Hallet Hospital Bolsters Security with Deployment of 12 Female Military Guards

Kanpur : In a significant move toward women’s empowerment and campus safety, the Lala Lajpat Rai (Hallet) Hospital has deployed 12 female military guards to its security detail. This initiative, aligned with the Uttar Pradesh government’s mission to strengthen female security, was spearheaded by Dr. Sanjay Kala, Principal of GSVM Medical College.

Procured through the Ex-Servicemen Welfare Corporation, these guards are tasked with providing a secure and comfortable environment for female patients, their attendants, and the hospital's female medical staff. Their deployment is expected to significantly reduce security concerns for women navigating the busy hospital premises.

Strategic Deployment & Oversight

• The new security personnel were formally briefed on their duties during an induction session attended by:
• Dr. Sanjay Kala, Principal, GSVM Medical College.
• Dr. Anurag Rajauria, Nodal Officer (Outsourced Manpower).

The guards have been primarily stationed in the Emergency Department (Casualty)—the hospital’s most sensitive and high-traffic zone. Their role extends beyond mere surveillance; they are trained to provide immediate assistance to female patients and their families, ensuring that every woman entering the facility feels respected and supported.

"Our objective is to provide a dignified and cooperative atmosphere where every female doctor, staff member, and visitor feels entirely safe," stated Dr. Sanjay Kala during the briefing.

The administration highlighted that these guards, coming from military backgrounds, bring a high level of discipline and vigilance to the medical college and its affiliated hospitals. This move is part of a broader strategy to modernize hospital management and prioritize the safety of vulnerable groups.
